NAME

DBIx::Class::Helper::Row::Types - Use Types to define rows

VERSION

version v0.4.0

SYNOPSIS

In result class:

 use Types::SQL -types;
 use Types::Standard -types;

__PACKAGE__->load_components('Helper::Row::Types');

__PACKAGE__->add_columns(

   id   => Serial,

   name => {
     isa => Maybe[ Varchar[64] ],
   },
);

DESCRIPTION

This helper allows you to specify column information by passing a Type::Tiny object.

Note that this does not enforce that the data is of that type, unless you specify the strict option (See "set_column"). The main purpose of this is to allow you to use types as a shorthand for specifying the column type.

You can use types from Types::SQL or supported types from Types::Standard.

METHODS

add_column

add_columns

These methods are modified to allow you to specify the column info using the isa attribute and a Type::Tiny type.

Note that in no way does this enforce that type.

set_column

If the strict attribute is true for the column, then the type constraint will be enforced when the column is explicitly set.

If the coerce attribute is true, then the type's coercion will be applied before checking the constraint.

Note that type constraints will not be enforced if you use the insert or resultset create methods.

This is entirely separate from database-level constraints.

Enabling strict for an inflated column is strongly discouraged.

SUPPORT FOR OLDER PERL VERSIONS

Since v0.4.0, the this module requires Perl v5.14 or later.

Future releases may only support Perl versions released in the last ten years.

If you need this module on Perl v5.10, please use one of the v0.3.x versions of this module. Significant bug or security fixes may be backported to those versions.

KNOWN ISSUES

Strict type constraints are only applied when explicitly setting a column value.
